Detailed Features: 

Frame and Ejector 

Pre-war frame style with a half-moon ejector housing. The base pin is retained by a spring-loaded push-pin through the side of the frame rather than a cross-pin — correct for the period this gun represents. 
 

Barrel and Action 

4.75-inch barrel is the classic cavalry length, shorter than the 5.5-inch artillery and longer than the 4-inch sheriff's model. Single-action only — the hammer must be cocked manually for each shot. 
 

Grips 

Hand-fitted polymer ivory grips. The polymer material replicates the look of period ivory without the fragility or legal complications of actual ivory. 
 

Usage 

The Frontier Patton works for cowboy action shooting (SASS/WASA), range plinking, and display. The .45 Colt chambering is well-supported with factory and handloaded ammunition. Single-action operation is slower than a double-action but part of the discipline in cowboy competition.

Buyers of the Cimarron Frontier Patton in .45 Colt are generally very pleased with it. The nickel finish and polymer ivory grips draw the most comment — the overall appearance is striking in person and holds up well under handling.

The action quality gets consistent praise. Cimarron's single-actions are known for smooth lockwork, and owners of this model confirm it cycles cleanly with a positive hammer reset. Target shooters and cowboy action competitors find it accurate and enjoyable to shoot.

Practical feedback includes a note that nickel finishes require more attention to prevent tarnishing than blued steel — wiping down after handling is more important. Some buyers also mention that single-action operation is slower to reload than a double-action, which is expected for the platform and either accepted or enjoyed depending on the shooter's intent.

The revolver is popular among collectors interested in period-correct SAA reproductions and among SASS competitors who need a legal .45 Colt single-action. A few buyers note they purchased it primarily as a display piece and were pleasantly surprised by how well it shot at the range.
